Services and Conditions Policy:

I do not offer services in treating certain mental health conditions.  Certain conditions need more resources than I have here in my office and are beyond my area of expertise.  Please read policy about conditions I do not treat.

Referrals, Recommendations and Resources:

Providing referrals, working with other healthcare providers, making recommendations and offering resources are inherent in the counseling therapy offered here.  These are made when therapeutically needed and with your permission.


Your Safety and Privacy

Safety and privacy are central to the work of any counselor and psychotherapist. People who hurt need a safe environment in order to return to health and mental wellness.  A safe space where what is said is private and confidential is a necessity.

And your privacy is vital. It is so vital that it's covered by state and federal law, except in isolated cases. Those isolated cases are these exceptions: if someone wants to harm you or you wish to harm another person(s) or you are a threat to your own self.

My explanation is by no means comprehensive. You'll find a lot more details about your privacy and exceptions to your confidential health information at these websites. These are links to the law and your rights in the States of Connecticut, Maryland and Virginia where I practice and with the federal government at the Department of Health and Human Services.

Benefits of In Person Counseling Near Me

The benefits of holistic in person therapy are deeply enriching and empowering. It's a process of what can be an exploration into your self and Self. A process that's a healing journey, deeply personal and that's potentially self-transforming and self-empowering. The topic of counseling and holistic therapy is large. On this site, you can explore more information about what psychotherapy and counseling are, the benefits and more.

I continue to have the honor of bearing witness to courage. It’s courage in action when clients face the pain of their past history or current experience. It’s courage in action when they take a step into the challenging yet rewarding process of personal growth and transformation.

Of course, there’s no guarantee as to what will happen in psychotherapy and counseling.  Everyone is different.  Everyone’s journey is unique.  As a counselor, I sometimes notice common denominators among some clients who are responsible and dedicated to doing their inner and outer mind-body work.

These are:

  • Relief or Relaxation and/or
  • Improved sense of physical health and/or
  • Increased sense of emotional peace and/or
  • Improved sense of mental clarity and/or
  • Strengthening of their personal connection to something greater than themselves

People come to holistic psychotherapy and counseling for a variety of reasons. Everyone truly is different with unique needs and wants.  Having an idea of what you want helps to form realistic goals. Here’s a list of challenges and ideas that past clients have come seeking therapeutic support for.
